Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s dismissal of Wilson’s tort‑of‑outrage claim, holding that Alabama law does not confine the tort to three narrowly defined categories and that the dismissal was improper under the Rule 12(b)(6) standard, and remanded for further proceedings on the merits.
